Opulent Level accommodations and services will delight you. We use our local insight and contacts to secure the best available rooms in palaces, battle scarred forts, the best resorts and five star first Class hotels.

Luxury Level guests stay at upgraded rooms at five star hotels (usually better hotels than what the average tour operator calls their "luxury hotels"), and get dedicated guides and visit facilitators for custom travel - they share this staff in the small group visits. The custom tours include a sport utility for visits to sights and monuments in the itineraries. Mini Coaches are used for small group travel.

First Class Level guests have many of the same amenities as Luxury Tours do. The hotels they stay are usually five star with a couple of four star + hotels (these are establishments that most tour operators leave out, because they are more expensive than the "Budget" or "Affordable" hotels that they like to use, but are slightly less expensive then the deluxe 5 star hotels that we use in the Luxury Level).
